Realistically how much would you pay for one of these. Im currently building one with a fully forged xe turbo in the back. If it goes well im thinking of making a few to sell just wondering how much it would sell for? it would be put through a IVA test so will be fully road legal.

I expect you would get the normal time wasters etc, Would be rare for somebody to actually be willing to hand over lots of dosh imo, No matter what anybody says at the moment in this thread.

well unless your a die hard fan of the corsa i suggest you would have to look at alternative cars that are already RWD and cheap and decent in order to see what things are worth.

for example you could get a BMW 325i for a few grand these days

rear engined doesn't really matter imo
